Knowing the quality of appliances currently on the market, I think you would be better off buying a cheaper brand and putting the money into extended warranty instead and saving probably $1500 along the way still.

Big brands carry big repair costs, and sometimes this is not always as good as one thinks. The majority of appliances last a max of ten years now on average, even less in most cases. The new stuff is just not as good as what it was 5-10 years ago, regardless of the brand. Especially fridges and washing machines..

When someone comes into the shop with a Miele appliance, I have to turn them away because they are generally insulted when I tell them the price of the parts alone, not including our labor charge..

I would never buy a Miele dishwasher myself, I just don't see the return for the investment.

Ive been installing cheap dishwashers for rental properties (These cop a hiding) for around $400. They come with 2 years warranty and for an extra $100 i get an extended warranty of up to 5 years. Thats $500 for 5 years warranty. If you get 5 years out of a dishwasher with everyday use and dont have to pay a cent for parts, you are doing well*

A control module for a Miele dishwasher would probably cost $400 to put things into perspective* plus labor also, after the warranty period,,

Here, this may interest you with future purchases, or at least give you something to work against regarding buying anything at the right price*

You could buy all 4 things mentioned above for half the price of what Miele would want and tuck some $$$ aside if you ever run into trouble regarding repairs, after the warranty period.
